Sons on bubbles

[Liza B]

I have just had a phone call from my 19 year old sons boss, telling me his work has been going down hill the past 10 weeks, he has just gone back to work after 2 weeks off. His boss went through this with his own daughter so he konw the signs.He is lucky not to be sacked, but his boss has a lot of time for him and want to help him. My son has his own flat and his 17 year old brother stays at the weekends, which we thought was ok as he was with his brother, we now think he is doing bubbles as well, he is also working. We're still in shock , you never think it could be yours on drugs. Where do we start to help, do we stop the younger one from staying at his brothers so many questions and no answers.
Anyone going through this or been through it and can give us help. The older son has always been a dark horse, not really talking, not one to open up. We have gone through so much with the other kids and thought we'd got through all that we could and there was nothing else to be thrown at us. never say never. We really don't know where to start.

Ok, I'll ask. What's "doing bubbles"? Sounds like something Michael Jackson would be proud of.

[ummmm]

I also don't know what 'bubbles' is.

[redcrx]

i havnt a clue what bubbles are but have you actually asked your son if hes enjoying his job, perhaps hes just bored?

Tackle the drug questions once youve established theres no other reason for him not working well.

A mixture od fertiliser and amphetamines is doing bubbles .....

[ummmm]

Hello Mr k xx

[Mr k]

Hello ummm hope your well hun x

Mr.K, Mephedrone isn't actually a plant fertiliser, it is just marketed as such. It has no known use as a plant food.

[ummmm]

Ohhhh...Plant food. The poor mans coke. A friend had it on Saturday night. £12 a G.

[Liza B]

bubbles is a drug made from plant fertilizer, at the moment it is iegal. We live in Tayside and it is everywhere here, has been all over the papers, sorry I thought it was in most towns, it is very cheap, so the teens use it, I'm only now starting to find out more about it. My son has always loved his job, so its not that. We're talking to them both tonight, but trying to keep calm is not easy.

[ummmm]

You can get it on the net vibes.

I know this doesn't help you, but im curious why his boss rang you? He's 19, legally an adult and has his own place? How many bosses would phone an employees parents?

But yes, defintely stop the 17 year old staying there.

[ummmm]

Snorted like coke and similar effects. After the buzz you feel a bit lovey.

Hiya Vibra, i'm on my son's PC whilst he is at school.lol
Meph is like ecstasy but with a bit more of an amphetamine type feeling added in. It is readily available online and is completely legal, it managed to escape the recent ban on many of the legal highs somehow. As I said before, it isn't really plant food but it is sold and marketed as such, if you actually put it on your plants it would probably kill them.lol

[B00]

And yes, id also like to wave to daffy, ello there!!

(Sorry Lisa)

*Waves back at B00 and waves hello to ummmm* :-)
